Have you considered decaff?

You must be new here. (No shade, just sayin’.)

Gracious lady, I’d have traded my smoothy-smooth hair for thin thighs almost any day of the week. But for you- have you looked into cuticle-smoothing hair oils? I’ve got curly hair lately that just wants to frizz up, but a teeny dollop of hair oil works miracles.

Preach. People cluster round in the early stages of a big illness, and later on depart because... I don’t know, they feel they’ve done their bit, you’re boring when you’re not well (possibly true), you’re a reminder that nobody is safe from disease, whatever . And, they then feel like shitty friends and associate YOU…

One of my elderly aunts was a bit like this. Her sisters used to say of her that “she enjoyed poor health for many years.”

Her brows are done. Nude lip, so either just a gloss balm or minimal colour. Minimal eye makeup, if any. She *might* be in full foundation/blush etc, and I concede this only because I’m aware that many young women (even ordinary non-Hollywood ones) wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without spending a half hour doing…

Yes, I am. Because she looks like an individual when she’s just gadding about, and is naturally stunning. (I don’t mean to tread on thin ice with that description, but can’t at the moment find a better way to express it.) I’m not nearly as interested in the made-up, coiffed, stylist-approved version, because to me she…

Crazy, ridiculous hot. Pearly skin, great bone structure, killer figure, love the casual clothes and messy ‘do. But in a few hours, she’ll be poured into a couture gown after a long session of hair and makeup, and her glossy curls and smoky eye will make her look exactly like everyone else on the red carpet, plus or…

Well, that escalated quickly.

All that... all that... green... The kitchen is eye-watering enough, but there’s something about the walk-in closet that give me a touch of nausea. I’m sure the owners adored it and are probably- no, definitely- very interesting people, but I’d need to be sedated before dropping in for a visit, y’know?

The Sabbath elevator is mentioned in the listing. Imma’ guess the owners are very old Jewish people who had a grand time decorating the place when it was new, but now are thinking to sell and move to warmer points south.

Literally laughing out loud. Fiddle-de-dee!

Gonna have to go with “unoriginal,” Terry.

Waiting for the first comments along the lines of nobody held a gun to their head and made them be cheerleaders! and they knew what they were signing up for, why whine about it later? and eventually sliding all the way down to decorative Barbie sex-objects bla bla bla not exactly rocket science.

I would love to know how much couture is really used, but suspect it’s more than we know. There are a few famous super-rich European and American clients; ladies who really do drop a huge bankroll each and every season to wear the very best. Royalty (both Euro and Asian) wears couture and I expect they pay the bills…

Meredith is the least interesting character on the show at the very best of times- why does she put up with Derek’s diva behaviour and cruelty when he doesn’t get his way, for instance- but yeah, seeing her as a pink-polo-shirted fiancee was weird. But I really liked seeing how some things were still happening...…

I was channeling my inner (and non-existent) southern belle, so my reaction is really the same as yours. (That is a great gif, btw.)

Would I be right in guessing no motorcycles for your kids, either?

Well, bless their hearts.

People be crazy for multiple births, is my guess. Come for the litter of cuteness; stay for the marital shitshow. It’s a more subtle version of Judgy-Judy and The Maury Show; stuff that ordinary people can watch and be glad they’re above. Or something.
